This week was too good for words. A friend from home was visiting Europe and she surprised me and stopped by Ireland for a week! Fortunately, I had a match this weekend so she also got to see me play. After the game we took a bus to Dublin with no plans except just to see as much as we could and have fun. We toured the Guinness Storehouse (which was insane) and they even teach you how to properly taste test Guinness and how to poor the perfect pint. I also got my first real taste of traditional Irish cuisine. I had bacon and cabbage and it was sooo good! I’ve been trying so hard to find a spot in Carlow who serves it now because that was phenomenal. Of course I also linked up with some of the scholars in Dublin as well. It just wouldn’t be a trip if I didn’t see my girls. Overall, Dublin was perfect. It reminded me so much of New York or Philadelphia. There was so many people on the streets, so many places to eat, so many sights to see. I loved it! I’m definitely going back soon.
